He was before my time, but his contribution to football and sport, as a result, was undeniable. Rest in Peace.

Amazing man who experienced so much racism and being called horrible names but managed to rise above it and become the name everyone knew. My soccer mad dad adored him.

RIP he did his country proud.

The fact that even I know who he was says a lot about him.

"Pretty good" would probably rank as the understatement of the year.

Pele had his position at the peak of publicly-recognised achievement confirmed when this was said to him: "My name is Ronald Reagan, I'm the President of the United States of America. But you, you don't need to introduce yourself because everyone knows who Pele is."
